Paragon of Death

298 Chapter 297: The King makes the first move

.... Linchester, borders......

A camp could be seen at the northern walls of Linchester, where Damon and his force decided to rest before they pressed the attack.

In the war room, he sat with a stern look as he gazed at the map and frowned. Linchester was meant to be the first line of defense of the southern province but now it has been reduced to a stronghold for the enemy. Thinking about it, he couldn’t help but consider the possibility of losing this place to the enemy. At the back of his mind, he knew Alex wanted to test him.

Even without being told Damon knew the enemy was testing his capabilities through this method. This was an actual war between him and the sin of Gluttony will break out in the heavens when they are done with the deities. Since they had time to test each other’s capabilities, why hesitate?

“I would like to see how capable a man who strived to become a god like me is,” Damon said in a low tone before looking at the Paladin and Disciple of the one church who are the two Generals of his forces.

The Paladin was Stefan Light, a true believer of the one pathway and Bishop level supernatural human.

“Divide the forces into hundred-man teams, well balanced with Apostles and Knights of light as the core of each team. We invade at night” Damon said with cruel eyes.

“What about the gates? We need to breach the walls first” Stefan said with a deep frown.

Cecile rose from a nameless child to one of the most decorated figures in the empire. As a thousand-man general who fought his way to reach this level, he felt insulted having someone who hasn’t proven himself as a superior in such an important mission, and now he was issuing reckless orders.

.....

Kate Mason was the disciple who also struggled to reach the level of a thousand-man general at such a young age.

If it is hard for a man, it should be at least twice as hard for woman to reach such a height. But even then she wasn’t blatantly challenging Cecile like the man.

“Do as you are told. Tonight, at midnight I will give the signal and secure the gates. Before sweeping out the enemy forces in our city” Damon calmly.

..... Midnight...….

The moon turned red and a dreadful feeling spread across Linchester. Stefan Light and Kate Mason paled as they felt a dreadful aura wash through the entire region.

Buzzzz!

Roar!!!!

The world trembled as a fierce roar exploded from the heavens as a lone figure walked towards the walls of the Linchester with a cocky smile on his face.

Xiu!

Damon felt like a pair of eyes fell on him from the heavens, monitoring his every move.

“You decided to show yourself from the start?” Alex’s Briggs voice rang across the sky but Damon revealed a mocking smug on his face in response.

“If the king does not take the first step forward, why should his subordinates risk their life?” Damon’s domineering voice boomed as his eyes turned blood red.

Roar!

Buzzzz!

Damon exploded into a cloud of dark smoke and from it, a mighty black dragon appeared and its towering claw descended from the heavens shattering the gates and the walls in one go!

The army of the empire behind was stunned and terrified. Even Stefan and Kate paled in fear as they felt a fierce aura even stronger than that of the regional head from this kid. Unknown to them, this was the new body of the God of death.

Hmph! Kill him!

A cold snort rang from the sky as the person looking at Damon seemed unimpressed by his tactics.

Buzzzz!

The entire city of Linchester shook violently as blood rushed out from the streets and into the sky like a tsunami with two lonely figures riding the wave forward.

Klien!

Lucy!

The eyes of the black dragon trembled as he saw his last two surviving friends of his past life racing into battle.

They were trying to stop him from entering the city!

Heh!

They are quite dedicated to facing him on the battlefield.

“Show me what you are made of!” A furious bellow exploded from the black dragon as its scales turned golden and a divine aura exploded from its body, covering, and turning the moon golden as well.

Heavenly Dragon Breathe!

The golden dragon drew in the air as his neck expanded drastically and golden light could be seen surging all the way from his chest to his neck and finally.

Boom!

A mighty golden beam exploded from its mouth, piercing through the sky and racing toward the lone figures on the blood tsunami!

“Honey…” Klien said as he grabbed the green-haired lady dressed in tight alluring black robes just like her husband. It seemed like they both came for a funeral and not a battle.

“I will help you out. Even if he possesses that power he won’t defeat us easily.” Lucy said with a bright smile on her face as a toxic aura exploded from her body mixing with the blood sea as it raced forward to meet the golden beam.

Boom!

Shockwaves tore through the sky as the two attacks clashed fiercely and the power of a four-star being was fully revealed. The blood sea laced with toxic power was completely overwhelmed and pushed back into Linchester!

Xiu!

A bright light exploded from the body of the golden dragon and his light strengthened the soldiers behind him, making them feel energized.

“Kill!” The golden dragon bellowed and the army responded with fierce fighting spirit as they raced forward fearlessly!

Damon had left a deep impression of invincibility in their minds so they raced forward.

“Take control of the gates and secure important positions. If we rush into this city we will be wiped out. I’m sure they have hidden traps put in place” Damon’s cold voice rang in the heads of Stefan and Kate, causing them to look into the sky only to see the golden dragon looking down on them.

Buzzz!

The golden dragon exploded into a golden smoke and Damon emerged with a deadly pale face but he showed no weakness in his movements or face.

“Don’t push too far, never chase” Damon gave his final orders before turning and walking towards shattered gates alone.

His robes fluttered in the wind and with his hands cupped and hidden within his sleeves he approached the city calmly.

He wanted to see what Klien and Lucy could do with his own eyes. He wanted to be the one to give them the final send off
